Speeding-up the Determination of Protein-Ligand Affinities by STD NMR: The Reduced Data Set STD NMR Approach (rd-STD NMR). Anal Chem 2024; 96:615-619.

Abstract
STD NMR spectroscopy is a powerful ligand-observed NMR tool for screening and characterizing the interactions of small molecules and low molecular weight fragments with a given macromolecule, identifying the main intermolecular contacts in the bound state. It is also a powerful analytical technique for the accurate determination of protein-ligand dissociation constants (KD) of medium-to-weak affinity, of interest in the pharmaceutical industry. However, accurate KD determination and epitope mapping requires a long series of experiments at increasing saturation times to carry out a full analysis using the so-called STD NMR build-up curve approach and apply the "initial slopes approximation". Here, we have developed a new protocol to bypass this important limitation, which allows us to obtain initial slopes by using just two saturation times and, hence, to very quickly determine precise protein-ligand dissociation constants by STD NMR.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Nojirimycin α- C-Glycosides from a Bicyclic Acyliminium Intermediate: A Convenient Entry to N, C-Biantennary Glycomimetics. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:22394-22405.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of nojirimycin α-C-glycoside derivatives has been developed using a bicyclic carbamate-type sp2-iminosugar, whose preparation on a gram scale has been optimized, as the starting material. sp2-iminosugar O-glycosides or anomeric esters serve as excellent precursors of acyliminium cations, which can add nucleophiles, including C-nucleophiles. The stereochemical outcome of the reaction is governed by stereoelectronic effects, affording the target α-anomer with total stereoselectivity. Thus, the judicious combination of C-allylation, carbamate hydrolysis, cross-metathesis, and hydrogenation reactions provides a very convenient entry to iminosugar α-C-glycosides, which have been transformed into N,C-biantennary derivatives by reductive amination or thiourea-forming reactions. The thiourea adducts undergo intramolecular cyclization to bicyclic iminooxazolidine iminosugar α-C-glycosides upon acid treatment, broadening the opportunities for molecular diversity. A preliminary evaluation against a panel of commercial glycosidases validates the approach for finely tuning the inhibitory profile of glycomimetics.

sp 2-Iminosugars targeting human lysosomal β-hexosaminidase as pharmacological chaperone candidates for late-onset Tay-Sachs disease. J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem 2022; 37:1364-1374.

Abstract
The late-onset form of Tay-Sachs disease displays when the activity levels of human β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) fall below 10% of normal, due to mutations that destabilise the native folded form of the enzyme and impair its trafficking to the lysosome. Competitive inhibitors of HexA can rescue disease-causative mutant HexA, bearing potential as pharmacological chaperones, but often also inhibit the enzyme O-glucosaminidase (GlcNAcase; OGA), a serious drawback for translation into the clinic. We have designed sp2-iminosugar glycomimetics related to GalNAc that feature a neutral piperidine-derived thiourea or a basic piperidine-thiazolidine bicyclic core and behave as selective nanomolar competitive inhibitors of human Hex A at pH 7 with a ten-fold lower inhibitory potency at pH 5, a good indication for pharmacological chaperoning. They increased the levels of lysosomal HexA activity in Tay-Sachs patient fibroblasts having the G269S mutation, the highest prevalent in late-onset Tay-Sachs disease.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective synthesis of (R,S) or (S,S)-2,6-disubstituted dehydropiperidines has been previously achieved through Sn/Li transmetalation of the corresponding stannylated dehydropiperidines or of their precursors. Herein, we successively consider their Upjohn's syn dihydroxylation and their anti-dihydroxylation via an epoxidation reaction followed by epoxide opening reaction. The stereochemical course of these reactions was first reported including the use of appropriate protecting groups before considering the conversion of the obtained compounds into NH or NMe iminosugar hydrochlorides. A primary evaluation of the designed iminosugar C-glycosides as glycosidase inhibitors suggests candidates for the selective inhibition of α-galactosidase, amyloglycosidase and naringinase. Beyond the reported results, the method constitutes a highly modulable route for the synthesis of well stereodefined iminosugar C-glycosides, an advantage which might be used for the design of iminosugars to enhance their biological properties.

Thiol-ene "Click" Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of C-Glycoside sp 2-Iminosugar Glycolipids. Molecules 2019; 24:E2882.

Abstract
The unique stereoelectronic properties of sp2-iminosugars enable their participation in glycosylation reactions, thereby behaving as true carbohydrate chemical mimics. Among sp2-iminosugar conjugates, the sp2-iminosugar glycolipids (sp2-IGLs) have shown a variety of interesting pharmacological properties ranging from glycosidase inhibition to antiproliferative, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Developing strategies compatible with molecular diversity-oriented strategies for structure-activity relationship studies was therefore highly wanted. Here we show that a reaction sequence consisting in stereoselective C-allylation followed by thiol-ene "click" coupling provides a very convenient access to α-C-glycoside sp2-IGLs. Both the glycone moiety and the aglycone tail can be modified by using sp2-iminosugar precursors with different configurational profiles (d-gluco or d-galacto in this work) and varied thiols, as well as by oxidation of the sulfide adducts (to the corresponding sulfones in this work). A series of derivatives was prepared in this manner and their glycosidase inhibitory, antiproliferative and antileishmanial activities were evaluated in different settings. The results confirm that the inhibition of glycosidases, particularly α-glucosidase, and the antitumor/leishmanicidal activities are unrelated. The data are also consistent with the two later activities arising from the ability of the sp2-IGLs to interfere in the immune system response in a cell line and cell context dependent manner.

Probing the Inhibitor versus Chaperone Properties of sp²-Iminosugars towards Human β-Glucocerebrosidase: A Picomolar Chaperone for Gaucher Disease. Molecules 2018; 23:E927.

Abstract
A series of sp²-iminosugar glycomimetics differing in the reducing or nonreducing character, the configurational pattern (d-gluco or l-ido), the architecture of the glycone skeleton, and the nature of the nonglycone substituent has been synthesized and assayed for their inhibition properties towards commercial glycosidases. On the basis of their affinity and selectivity towards GH1 β-glucosidases, reducing and nonreducing bicyclic derivatives having a hydroxylation profile of structural complementarity with d-glucose and incorporating an N′-octyl-isourea or -isothiourea segment were selected for further evaluation of their inhibitory/chaperoning potential against human glucocerebrosidase (GCase). The 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)-related nonreducing conjugates behaved as stronger GCase inhibitors than the reducing counterparts and exhibited potent chaperoning capabilities in Gaucher fibroblasts hosting the neuronopathic G188S/G183W mutation, the isothiourea derivative being indeed one of the most efficient chaperone candidates reported up to date (70% activity enhancement at 20 pM). At their optimal concentration, the four selected compounds promoted mutant GCase activity enhancements over 3-fold; yet, the inhibitor/chaperoning balance became unfavorable at much lower concentration for nonreducing as compared to reducing derivatives.

Abstract
An ultra-fast synthetic procedure based on grafting of twelve fullerene macromonomers onto a fullerene hexa-adduct core was used for the preparation of a giant molecule with 120 peripheral iminosugar residues. The inhibition profile of this giant iminosugar ball was evaluated against various glycosidases. In the particular case of the Jack bean α-mannosidase, a dramatic enhancement of the glycosidase inhibitory effect was observed for the giant molecule with 120 peripheral subunits as compared to that of the corresponding mono- and dodecavalent model compounds.

Abstract
The vision of multivalency as a strategy limited to achieve affinity enhancements between a protein receptor and its putative sugar ligand (glycotope) has proven too simplistic. On the one hand, binding of a glycotope in a dense glycocalix-like construct to a lectin partner has been shown to be sensitive to the presence of a third sugar entity (heterocluster effect). On the other hand, several carbohydrate processing enzymes (glycosidases and glycosyltransferases) have been found to be also responsive to multivalent presentations of binding partners (multivalent enzyme inhibition), a phenomenon first discovered for iminosugar-type inhibitory species (inhitopes) and recently demonstrated for multivalent carbohydrate constructs. By assessing a series of homo- and heteroclusters combining α-d-glucopyranosyl-related glycotopes and inhitopes, it was shown that multivalency and heteromultivalency govern both kinds of events, allowing for activation, deactivation or enhancement of specific recognition phenomena towards a spectrum of lectin and glycosidase partners in a multimodal manner. This unified scenario originates from the ability of (hetero)multivalent architectures to trigger glycosidase binding modes that are reminiscent of those harnessed by lectins, which should be considered when profiling the biological activity of multivalent architectures.

Abstract
Amphiphilic glycomimetics encompassing a rigid, undistortable nortropane skeleton based on 1,6-anhydro-l-idonojirimycin and a polyfluorinated antenna, when formulated as the corresponding inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (βCD), have been shown to behave as pharmacological chaperones (PCs) that efficiently rescue lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase mutants associated with the neuronopathic variants of Gaucher disease (GD), including the highly refractory L444P/L444P and L444P/P415R single nucleotide polymorphs, in patient fibroblasts. The body of work here presented includes the design criteria for the PC prototype, the synthesis of a series of candidates, the characterization of the PC:βCD complexes, the determination of the selectivity profiles toward a panel of commercial and human lysosomal glycosidases, the evaluation of the chaperoning activity in type 1 (non-neuronopathic), type 2 (acute neuronopathic), and type 3 (adult neuronopathic) GD fibroblasts, the confirmation of the rescuing mechanism by immunolabeling, and the analysis of the PC:GCase binding mode by docking experiments.

Abstract
A systematic study of the suitability of α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene as a reagent for cyclic o-xylylene protection of vic-diols in different monosaccharide substrates is reported. The installation of this protecting group, formally equivalent to a di-O-benzylation reaction, proceeds with good regioselectivity toward 1,2-trans-diequatorial diol systems in pyranose and furanose rings. Initially, the benzyl ether-type derivative of the more acidic hydroxyl is preferentially formed. Subsequent intramolecular etherification toward the equatorial-oriented vicinal OH is kinetically favored. The methodology has been implemented for the simultaneous protection of the secondary O-2 and O-3 positions of a single d-glucopyranosyl unit in cyclic oligosaccharides of the cyclodextrin (CD) family (cyclomaltohexa-, -hepta-, and -octaose; α, β, and γCD).

Abstract
Lysosomal β-galactosidase (β-Gal) deficiency causes a group of disorders that include neuronopathic GM1 gangliosidosis and non-neuronopathic Morquio B disease. We have previously proposed the use of small molecule ligands of β-Gal as pharmacological chaperones (PCs) for the treatment of GM1 gangliosidosis brain pathology. Although it is still under development, PC therapy has yielded promising preclinical results in several lysosomal diseases. In this study, we evaluated the effect of bicyclic 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ) derivative of the sp(2)-iminosugar type, namely 5N,6S-(N'-butyliminomethylidene)-6-thio-1- deoxygalactonojirimycin (6S-NBI-DGJ), as a novel PC for human mutant β-Gal. In vitro, 6S-NBI-DGJ had the ability to inhibit the activity of human β-Gal in a competitive manner and was able to protect this enzyme from heat-induced degradation. Computational analysis supported that the rigid glycone bicyclic core of 6S-NBI-DGJ binds to the active site of the enzyme, with the aglycone N'-butyl substituent, in a precise E-orientation, located at a hydrophobic region nearby. Chaperone potential profiling indicated significant increases of enzyme activity in 24 of 88 β-Gal mutants, including four common mutations. Finally, oral administration of 6S-NBI-DGJ ameliorated the brain pathology of GM1 gangliosidosis model mice. These results suggest that 6S-NBI-DGJ is a novel PC that may be effective on a broad range of β-Gal mutants.

Abstract
Di-D-fructose dianhydrides (DFAs) comprise a unique family of stereoisomeric spiro-tricyclic disaccharides formed upon thermal and/or acidic activation of sucrose- and/ or D-fructose-rich materials. The recent discovery of the presence of DFAs in food products and their remarkable nutritional features has attracted considerable interest from the food industry. DFAs behave as low-caloric sweeteners and have proven to exert beneficial prebiotic nutritional functions, favouring the growth of Bifidobacterium spp. In the era of functional foods, investigation of the beneficial properties of DFAs has become an important issue. However, the complexity of the DFA mixtures formed during caramelization or roasting of carbohydrates by traditional procedures (up to 14 diastereomeric spiroketal cores) makes evaluation of their individual properties a difficult challenge. Great effort has gone into the development of efficient procedures to obtain DFAs in pure form at laboratory and industrial scale.

Abstract
Di-D-fructose dianhydrides (DFAs) comprise a unique family of stereoisomeric spiro-tricyclic disaccharides formed upon thermal and/or acidic activation of sucrose- and/ or D-fructose-rich materials. The recent discovery of the presence of DFAs in food products and their remarkable nutritional features has attracted considerable interest from the food industry. DFAs behave as low-caloric sweeteners and have proven to exert beneficial prebiotic nutritional functions, favouring the growth of Bifidobacterium spp. In the era of functional foods, investigation of the beneficial properties of DFAs has become an important issue. However, the complexity of the DFA mixtures formed during caramelization or roasting of carbohydrates by traditional procedures (up to 14 diastereomeric spiroketal cores) makes evaluation of their individual properties a difficult challenge. Great effort has gone into the development of efficient procedures to obtain DFAs in pure form at laboratory and industrial scale. This paper is devoted to review the recent advances in the stereoselective synthesis of DFAs by means of chemical and enzymatic approaches, their scope, limitations, and complementarities.

Abstract
The xylylene moiety (ortho, meta, and para) was employed as a rigid tether in the spacer-mediated synthesis of difructose dianhydrides (DFAs), a unique class of bis-spiroacetal derivatives present in food products. The synthetic methodology exploits the suitability of triflic acid to promote spirocyclization in organic solvents under irreversible reaction conditions, using anomeric isopropylidene fructose derivatives as precursors. Advantage was taken of the strong dependence of the conformational properties of DFAs on the relative configuration of the spiroketal centers. Highly stereoselective syntheses of the contra-thermodynamic difructofuranose and difructopyranose diastereomers, namely the C2-symmetric derivatives having the beta-configuration at both anomeric centers, have been accomplished by judicious choice of the xylylene positional isomer and of the linking position to the fructose building blocks. Interestingly, the rigid spacer concept has also been implemented to favor intermolecular processes leading to higher macrocyclic architectures that incorporate the bis-spiro fructodisaccharide subunit.

Abstract
The application of the "rigid spacer-mediated linkage between nonreacting centers" concept to the preparation of nonsymmetrical bis-spiroketal structures is demonstrated by the stereoselective synthesis of the bis-spiro fructodisaccharide 1, a minor component of industrial caramels. An o-xylylene bridge has been used to limit the conformational space during the intramolecular glycosylation-spirocyclization reaction of a difructopyranose precursor, thus controlling both the ring size and the stereochemistry at the spiro centers.

Abstract
Coupling reaction of (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2,5-hydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP) with isothiocyanates afforded the corresponding thiourea adducts, which were transformed into isourea-type bicyclic oxapyrrolizidine glycomimetics by mercury(II) oxide-assisted intramolecular sulfur displacement. Cyclic carbamate and thiocarbamate analogues were also prepared by direct carbonylation or thiocarbonylation of DMDP. Evaluation of the glycosidase inhibitory properties demonstrated that remarkable specificities in enzyme inhibition can be achieved upon modifications on the pseudoaglyconic side chain and on the nature of the sp(2)-hybridized endocyclic ring nitrogen.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of reducing isourea-derived azasugar glycomimetics related to the indolizidine and trehazolin glycosidase inhibitor families with different pK(a) values is disclosed. The polyhydroxylated bicyclic system was built from readily accessible hexofuranose derivatives through a synthetic scheme that involves the preparation of a 5-deoxy-5-carbodiimido adduct by triphenylphosphine-mediated tandem Staudinger--aza-Wittig-type coupling of azide and isothiocyanate precursors, intramolecular cyclization of a transient vic-hydroxycarbodiimide derivative, and nucleophilic addition of the endocyclic nitrogen atom of the generated 2-amino-2-oxazoline intermediate, with a pseudo-C-nucleoside structure, to the masked aldehyde group of the monosaccharide. The last step is pH-dependent so that the final compounds can pivot between the furanose and the 2-oxaindolizidine forms. Nevertheless, the indolizidine tautomer having the R configuration at the aminoacetalic center, fitting the anomeric effect, was the only species detected in solution at neutral or slightly acidic pH when starting from solutions at basic pH. Glycosidase inhibition tests (K(i) values down to 1.9 microM) showed a marked dependence of the selectivity and potency toward alpha- and beta-glucosidases upon the nature of the substituent at the exocyclic isourea nitrogen, shifting from alpha- to beta-selectivity when going from hydrophilic to hydrophobic substituents. Enzyme inhibition is also pH dependent, supporting a dominant role for the uncharged form of the polyhydroxyiminoindolizidine system in the inhibition of beta-glucosidases.

Abstract
Tandem Staudinger-aza-Wittig reaction of primary azidodeoxy sugars with triphenylphosphine-carbon disulfide affords the corresponding primary deoxyisothiocyanato sugars in high yield. No products arising from O --> N acyl migration or formation of dimeric carbodiimides were observed. Interestingly, a polymer-supported triarylphosphine can advantageously replace triphenylphosphine, thus limiting the purification step to a simple filtration process. The reaction also allows the preparation of 5-deoxy-5-isothiocyanato sugars, a hitherto unknown class of compounds, from the corresponding azide precursors. Secondary sugar azides bearing the azido group at an endocyclic carbon atom afforded much lower isothiocyanation yields under these reaction conditions.

Abstract
Bicyclic azasugar glycomimetics related to castanospermine and trehazolin have been prepared from sugar carbodiimides via aminooxazoline intermediates; preliminary enzyme inhibition tests showed a marked dependence of the selectivity and potency towards alpha and beta-glucosidases upon the nature of the exocyclic substituent.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of polyhydroxylated 6-oxa-nor-tropanes incorporating the essential structural features of calystegine B(2) from 5-deoxy-5-thioureido and 5-ureido-L-idofuranose precursors is presented. The methodology relies on the ability of pseudoamide-type nitrogen atoms (thiourea, urea, and carbamate) to undergo nucleophilic addition to the masked aldehyde group of the monosaccharide. The generated hemiaminal functionality may further undergo in situ intramolecular glycosidation to give the bicyclic aminoacetal compounds, the whole process being favored by the anomeric effect. A series of derivatives bearing different substituents at nitrogen has been prepared and screened against several glycosidases in comparison with xylonojirimycin-type piperidine analogues. Interestingly, strong and highly specific inhibition of bovine liver beta-glucosidase was observed for 6-oxacalystegine B(2) analogues incorporating aromatic pseudoaglyconic groups. On the basis of these data, a 1-azasugar inhibition mode is proposed for this family of glycomimetics.
